CHEEKY GORILLA
A cheeky gorilla sticks her tongue out and plays up for the camera at Bronx Zoo. After a morning spent wandering around her enclosure, the restless ape finally sits down to relax, but not before showing off numerous facial expressions. Israeli zoologist and wildlife photographer Michal Samuni-Blank photographed the playful western lowland gorilla when she visited Bronx Zoo in New York. Michal of New York, says: “The gorilla’s name is Julia and she has a very special personality. She is very outgoing and is one of a few gorillas in the zoo that interacts with the visitors.
